Comments on: doodle (and slideshow) by andre: old friends http://awaytogarden.com/doodle-and-slideshow-by-andre-old-friends Organic gardening inspiration from Margaret Roach Sun, 12 Feb 2012 02:28:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: leslie http://awaytogarden.com/doodle-and-slideshow-by-andre-old-friends/comment-page-1#comment-8720 leslie Sat, 09 May 2009 11:31:39 +0000 http://awaytogarden.com/?p=4779#comment-8720 Just back in the Maine garden for the first time this year, VERY ready to be asked what came through and what didn't... so thanks, Margaret. and here's just a snippet from the shade: *huge herds of digitalis purpurea - gone; happens every time the spring is long, cold and wet. *herds of aquilegia - present; ever-multiplying anyway, but this year there's a wall-to-wall carpet under the wild apple trees. *mega-gift ( isn't this why we keep at it through disappointments and aches?) a very great many baby cimicifuga, some black like mommy, some green. They must have been there last year too, still too tiny to see, but now I know I have them. Yay! hope similar treasures keep coming to you.
